Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (X. oryzae), causing devastating bacterial leaf blight (BLB) disease in rice, is fast developing resistance against many available antibiotics, warranting an urgent need to develop an alternative control strategy. In this manuscript, we report copper nanoparticles (CuNP...
